You can pick what causes you give your time and money. You cannot pick your sexual orientation (or skin color, or heritage, or disability). We protect the groups that people cannot help being members of.

Is this difficult or something?
Is it difficult to show common courtesy? They cancelled as people started showing up.

Restaurant should have not booked it. Cancelling at the last minute just indicates its a business that should go bankrupt.

And there is a difference between "discrimination" and simply being opposed to changing a long established definition of a word. You can be for dealing with the issues gay people had without being for gay marriage.

But in reality, its a moot point. Its not going to be undone. I doubt the Family Foundation is spending much time on it.

The left despises any group that advocates for traditional family values. Their goal is the total eradication of the traditional family and family values, so this is not surprising at all. In other news, water is wet.

Excuse me, but don't trans people get to pick and choose their genders and pronouns, and swap them back and forth at will?

But whatever, the take-away here is that the political left in the US are fascists, and will harass, hurt and destroy anyone and everyone who disagrees with their views.

When "traditional family values" is a euphemism for something much darker, one should not be surprised that people see through it.

You sound like a horrible bigot. What's your problem with Christians?

It is likely that there is more to the story. Probably someone in the group said something rude or offensive to the staff and "cancelled" was a euphemism for "kicked out". Restaurants kick out rude customers all the time, especially since the pandemic because everyone has gone crazy and there are tons of them now. It is much harder to find waitstaff now so management so management has become more aggressive when it comes to shielding them from rude customers, because they want to keep their servers.

of course the comPost files this in the Food section.
Unfortunately, in today's America LGBTQ is protected and religious people are not. I would be in favor of any business refusing people they don't want to serve for any or no reason myself.

Don't be so vague, what is this darker message or agenda?

There's nothing about that. Most likely just rude wait staff who found out what the group was and got the owner to cancel at the last minute.

You sound like an anti-Christian bigot also from your previous post.

that would be quite a trick, since the restaurant cancelled an hour and half before they were scheduled to eat, and none of them ever even entered the restaurant

About an hour and a half before it was slated to start, one of the restaurant’s owners called to cancel it, she wrote.
